Firstly, I’m really sorry to start a new tyre thread - yep I agree with all of the groans, I’m tired too
But having read a lot of posts lately, sadly I’m still unclear and as it’s a big investment, I really would appreciate any feedback in layman’s terms.
Currently have original 326 alloys (all need refurbishing) and the following with Potenza RFTs: Fronts 225/35 R19 88Y and Rears 255/30 R19 91Y.
Looking to replace with new Veemann alloys and non Run Flats. Objective: add more comfort to the ride, save my back, have no rubbing/speeedo accuracy issues and enjoy the car even more. All of this is a relatively large outlay, hence this post.
Anyway, thinking of sticking with 19” alloys, and a premium brand tyre (MP4S, Contis) what’s the best option to achieve the above objectives;
1. Stick with the same side/profile etc as above on non RFTs?
2. Go to Fronts 225/40/19 and Rears 255/35/19 non RFTs? Is this one profile up?
3. Or go to Fronts 235/35/19 and Rears 265/30/19 (suggestion by BM Autosport)

Or admit I prefer comfort over looks and switch to 18s?
I struggle with all the technical speak, so appreciate any advice. FYI went on that will it fit web site - didn’t help me as out of my depth.
Cheers for any constructive feedback
